We know from trusted sources that Olympus is going to announce new m43 lenses in May/June. Tonight a new anonymous source sent me a “rumor” claiming to know that Olympus will announce a 50mm f/1.4 and a fast 12mm wide angle Micro Four Thirds lens by end of May. I repeat, that info is from a new and anonymous source…take it with a grain of salt!

If that rumor turns out to be true than both lenses will be faster than the [shoplink 14794]Panasonic 45mm f/2.8[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 16258]Panasonic 14mm f/2.5[/shoplink] lenses.
I hope some of my trusted sources can confirm or deny the rumor during the next hours. Thanks!
